The Saint John Seadogs offence finally came alive last night as they beat Moncton 6-4 in Game Three of the Presidents Cup Final.

Mike Hoffman had four points including the game winner into an empty net.

Dogs Head Coach Gerard Gallant says his team locked up the lanes to keep Moncton from setting up.

Gallant is referring to Moncton scoring three goals in just over five minutes to make it a 5-4 game with just under three minutes left to play. Wildcats Head Coach and GM Danny Flynn says Saint John has plenty of fire power but is happy with how his team battled back to close the lead to one.

Moncton still leads the set 2-1 with Game Four on Friday in Moncton and Game Five Saturday at Harbour Station.

Tickets for Saturday's game go on sale tomorrow at ten at the Harbour Station Box Office.

Nine municipalities are now able to alert 14,000 households in an hour when an emergency strikes thanks to a new software program. The communities located between Saint John and Sussex Corner are sharing the cost of the $111,000 system. Manager of the Saint John Emergency Management Organization Murielle Provost says the program will make people more aware when an emergency is taking place.

The software was purchased from Bathurst-based company Sentinel Systems Ltd. which is the only company doing this type of work in Canada.

The Province has awarded about $4.7 million in contracts for a new Department of Transportation maintenance facility in St. Stephen.Premier Shawn Graham made the announcement today during a tour of the construction site on Church Street in the St. Stephen Industrial Park.

Fisheries Minister Rick Doucet tells CHSJ News this announcement is an investment in the safety of Charlotte county and the region.

Doucet says the work will get started soon and he expects it will be finished by the fall.

Most people were probably asleep at the time but if you live on the east side and wake up to find your electronic alarm clock flashing there's a very good reason for that. There was an early morning power outage. Saint John Energy crews managed to restore the power at about 1:15 after completing repairs.
